The crab cake egg rolls were good, but a bit salty. I'd recommend the Flounder Roulade had crab cake stuffed in flounder. I'd recommend asking for no salt on the green beans to reduce the sodium overall. The Reda Rockfish Tacos were more on the bland side, more fried batter than actual fish. I don't recommend. The employee there also said that their tacos aren't very good. Ask to sit on the rooftop when the weather is nice to get fresh air and a view of the area. Overall, I probably wouldn't go back. read more

My friend was looking for a lunch place that had seafood and a nice outdoor view! We saw this place has some rooftop seating and decided to try it. When reading the menu, I didn't realize the restaurant originated in Baltimore which was interesting. I was excited to get my first crush of the season. I got a key lime crush which came with whipped cream on top which was weird but whatever. The crush was okay. A little too sweet for my liking. Our server was very nice and he checked up on us from time to time. We both got crab cake sandwiches. I upgraded my side with $2 waffle fries. The crab cake itself was a decent size and filled with a bunch of crab. You could tell there was a lot of fillers though. The waffle fries were okay. They arrived lukewarm. Service was good and the views on the rooftop is unmatched. It is def. more about the vibes then the actual food. read more

Ropewalk in Bethany has great outdoor seating with a nice view of the ocean if you are on the upper deck. The service was unfortunately subpar and the food was deplorable. We asked to sit at a table by the balcony and the host said no and had a bad attitude towards us for asking a question. The simple menu items such as burgers or wings were fine but the pasta and jerk chicken were inedible. The tables were also wet and sticky upon sitting down. If you are considering ropewalk go for the drinks and not their food. read more

Beautiful views and delicious food what more could we have asked for on a vacation. Fast and friendly service on top of that made our experience memorable. If you have dinner on the rooftop you can watch the sunset! There is also an option for downstairs indoor seating if that is something you prefer. read more

Feel the restaurant was nice and food was ok but the place was infested with flies. Not even near capacity, they were sitting people in areas without fans so they were constantly attacked by flies. Service was good but they should've stepped up and asked if we wanted to be moved. read more

Watermelon crush is nasty. Chicken tenders are chewy. The table and chairs were dirty. Our server was nice, but the hostess stand was too busy flirting with each other than helping anyone. read more

This restaurant does not take food allergies seriously. Our son has dairy and gluten allergies and despite being very clear when ordering a seafood dish and specifying no butter, drawn butter was splashing around in the dish when it arrived. We asked for a manager and he was unapologetic and said they were "very busy". Nice atmosphere for watching sports though. read more

Food was not good, seafood has no flavor. Seems like they just steamed and spray dry rub on them. Salty outside on the shelf but then no flavor when you bite into the crawfish. Gave 2 stars cos the server was nice, however, she doesn't know the price on the menu. Maybelline things on menu should have a price on them so customer dont have to ask for them. read more

Need a nice Crush with great apps & a nice view of the ocean (upstairs)? Then definitely come here! I really like the ambience & the bar is great! And the food is really good tho I've only had some apps & oysters here. The burgers going by look really good. This is a great place to come with friends & family & enjoy beautiful Bethany Beach & the best of Delaware read more

We were seated quickly. Service was excellent. The crab cake sandwich was delicious. The shrimp salad sandwich was good too. Nice place for a quick seafood lunch. Roomy ambiance. read more

Ropewalk was able to quickly accommodate the 14 of us. The kids all enjoyed the meals and loved that it came in a frisbee. The crab egg rolls were a delicious app as was the calamari. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals. I got the poke bowl and really like it! It's right on the beach so it's a great spot and good food. Definitely recommend! read more

Great food! Wonderful service. We went on July 3rd and it was busy, but we still managed to get a table in a short amount of time and with a fun view overlooking the street. The food and drinks were great. Our server was lovely. I would recommend this place and look forward to returning. read more

We can't go to the beach without stopping at either ropewalk Bethany beach or the location in ocean city! Great food and great staff in a calm beach setting! read more

Horrible place. Food and service are atrocious, not to mention overpriced. Far better options out there along the boardwalk.

We had a very unpleasant experience here. The bus boy wiped the table with cleaner and a rag, then proceeded to set down plates and wipe them with that same dirty rag right in front of us, which was off-putting. On top of that, there was a photographer who kept hounding us to buy pictures she took and simply would not take "no" for an answer...very rude and intrusive when you're trying to enjoy dinner. As for the food, the blackened chicken and rice were extremely salty, and the seasoning on the chicken was far too overbearing. The mac and cheese came out barely lukewarm. Overall, the quality didn't match the price point, and I left feeling disappointed. read more

Went here for lunch/dinner on a Friday afternoon during labor day weekend with some family. The second we walked in, we were greeted with a hostile environment. 5 hostesses at the stand and not a single smile or greeting came from either of the hostesses. We asked a short simple question about seating, they gave us a blank stare all looking at each other and didn't give us an answer until we repeated it 3 times. The restaurant was practically empty when we walked in. When we were seated, the hostess set down the menu's and immediately walked away without a single smile (again) and not a single word was said from her. Not even a "you're welcome" when we thanked her for getting us seated. However, our server was a joy. A great woman that gave us anything we needed. The food was alright and definitely not worth the price. We had ordered the mac n cheese which was pricey for some noodles and cheese. However, we wanted to try it as a safe option and honestly who could get mac n cheese wrong? Ropewalk did. It was bland, barely warm, and the shrimp had no flavor or seasoning. We tried to save it with salt, pepper, and old bay but nothing could save this tasteless meal. The tacos were okay. The burgers were more than medium well and a little dry, but that was fine with us. Basically tasteless, terrible service, and just not worth the price. read more

Have passed by several times and finally decided to try it out. We were there right around the time it opened for lunch, and by the time we were finishing our meal, a good crowd had formed. They have outdoor seating downstairs and also a large balcony with seating upstairs. It was VERY sunny and bright upstairs, so we were going to move, but the server closed the louvre blinds that were on the roof of the balcony and created shade. The appetizers were great. Fried calamari had a very nice coating, and the bada bing shrimp had just the right amount of heat. The crab soup was loaded with crab and had a great consistency and flavor. Biggest hit of the day were the smoked wings. Order more than you think you'll need! Service was terrific and prices (for a beach town) were very reasonable. read more

This place has a great location near the water draws you in with the outdoor covered seating. The goofy Gipper aesthetic aside, it's cute and welcoming. The menu shows lots of GF options! I was looking forward to it. I narrowed it to the Seafood Cobb and the Poke bowl. Can you believe that I had options? For a person with a gluten-allergy, this is AMAZING! I asked the waiter for help deciding. I settled on the Poke bowl. The menu says that it is sesame seared tuna on rice with veg and a sriracha ginger sauce. Technically, that is true. The tuna, which should be the star of this particular show, was not a star. The fish was mushy/slimey and not FRESH. The sauce was blobby. The veggies were the only things that had the texture or taste that they should. If it weren't for the kitschy ambiance, listing GF options on the menu (even though it tasted bad), and the delicious orange crush, I'd have given this place a much lower score. read more

The service and ambiance were fine, unless you are offended by Ronald Reagan paraphernalia. The food was poor, especially given the price. The flounder remoulade consisted of dried out flounder, an orange mush of supposed crab, and extremely salty rice which could have come out of a pre-packaged box. The crab and shrimp salad was mediocre; the vegetables on it consisted of lettuce and tasteless, possibly defrosted, frozen corn. The advertised tomato was MIA. read more

Please change the malcontented servers. Had to send the food back because it was cold. The seafood mac and cheese was as stale as the Ronald Reagan statue. read more

Solid food, nice location. My sister's soup looked like throw up but it was pretty good actually. They apparently didn't have "bread" somehow. Overall pretty good read more

We came here looking for a good seafood boil/steamer and found that quite literally everything on the menu is overcooked and under seasoned. I would normally not complain about pricing for a place like this but to charge those prices for what quality they serve is ridiculous. The chicken salad wasn't even appetizing. The ONLY good part is the server was very nice and helpful. read more

Tell me before ordering the ceprese salad that it doesn't come with a bed of greens, especially if I order it with chicken.... A heads up would've been nice. Also to only offer one NA beer is upsetting, the waitress told me you can't make a virgin margarita?? I don't think she was well versed with anything on your menu and just trying to skate by without caring. Service was slow on the upper deck. read more

Fun place to eat in an open air setting near the beach. Friendly staff. Their victory wings are very good.

This by far was a huge disappointment...the mac and cheese dish...tasted like noodles with fish (Kraft Mac n cheese tastes way better)...had to add ketchup to get some kinda of flavor. The crab stuffed in flounder...tasted like an over cooked dry bland fish like at a wedding. Food not good. Atmosphere ok. Service ok. Just a waste of money. read more

I'm being as genuine as possible, and I think this might've been one of the WORST restaurants I have ever been. It feels like the kitchen are just throwing ingredients together. No seasoning, no flavor, and barely any amount of real food. Overprieced and tasteless. read more

Service, food and atmosphere were great. The pot stickers and victory wings were excellent.

Located on the main street, near the water, this place has lots of outside, covered seating. I had the fish tacos and a Fat Tire. When I go back, I'm going to have the fish tacos and a Fat Tire. No sense messing with perfection. Others in our party foolishly didn't order the fish tacos and were less happy. My wife had the Salmon Poke bowl, and I'll leave it for her to explain in her review why she's not likely to go back again. And yes, that may affect my chances for more fish tacos and decent Belgian ale, at least from Ropewalk. read more

My family and i grabbed an upstairs outdoor table on the second floor for some apps and drinks. The view was relaxing and the crushes were stellar. I found the food menu limited and my apps weren't great, but we really went for drinks and would return for them! My husband did love his old bay wings. read more

Great service at the bar. Lemon crush was ok, not fresh squeezed though, nice location and atmosphere.

We typically go here once during our annual summer beach trip. The upstairs balcony is a great place to feel the ocean breeze in a shady environment. It has a bit more of an open feel than Mango's and you can still see the ocean a little bit. The service has always been great, friendly and prompt. Bonus, they don't hover over you, but still made sure our drinks were full and our food was good. The menu has enough options for everyone to find something they will like. We started with deep fried pickles; which were very good; even though they were from frozen pre-made chips. We ended up getting a second order, as my niece happened to be at the beach and came over while we were eating to get a free meal. My youngest got a cheeseburger; he let me take a bite and it was pretty good, I don't think they started with a frozen patty. My middle child had chicken fingers; the chicken was not too oily and still moist. Also most places serve those pre-made frozen Sysco tenders, which tend to be over cooked and dry, the tenders appeared to be made on-site. My oldest ordered a salad with chicken, she liked it. Unfortunately, she's not good at sharing, so I didn't get a chance to taste it. My wife didn't order a meal, she just eats a bit off every plate! For myself, I ordered the tacos Al pastor; they were pretty good and had a nice ratio of pork to pineapple. Not the best I have ever had; they were good, no where near the worst. All the drinks were served in plastic pitchers; so we each had plenty to drink! Which was nice; since we were all parched. Overall, the atmosphere and service are excellent ( both are 5 stars worthy), the quality of the food is good, but it's not why you go there (3 stars worthy). So when you go, wait for an outside balcony table. It's worth it. read more

Admittedly touristy, but they serve soft drinks in a HUGE mug which is fun and the grilled chicken sandwich was surprisingly juicy and delicious. Definitely recommend upgrading to the seasoned waffle fries, just wish it was a bigger portion! read more

Excellent service in a busy beach town. We ate there twice in two weeks. Delicious "Cobb seafood salad" with fresh greens, lump crab and grilled shrimp. Add a little blue cheese dressing on the side - YUM! Also tried their shrimp tacos - very good. And our family tried several appetizers - Old Bay wings, fried green tomatoes, and all were delicious! read more

Let me start with Ropewalk being very expensive for what the food is. Trying to stay on this keto diet and eating out leaves me limited choices. On Saturday, it was all day happy hour, a few of the appetizers were half price the hickory smoked wings (7) , and the Bada Bing shrimp (bucket), and $1.00 liberty oysters. The smoked wings were so good we had to order a second order of wings. Not realizing, the Bada Bing shrimp, was breaded popcorn shrimp, we had to peel all the breading off to eat ( the shrimp are copycat bonefish grill's bang bang shrimp.) Bottom line: I would come back for happy hour for the hickory smoked wings! Beer prices were cheap $1.00 Natty lights during football game, $2.50 bud light bottles and Bud, and $2.00 off all drafts. Happy hour prices: All day and everyday, bar and tables, excluding Holidays and to go Bada Bing Shrimp normally $12.00... half off $6.00 Hickory Smoked Wings normally $11.00...half off $5.50 read more

This was our first visit here. We arrived without a reservation for lunch. We were able to sit outside in their sandy area to simulate a sandy beach in front overlooking the passerby's on the sidewalk. I started with their blood orange margarita for $10 and ended with their Big Oyster draft Hammerhead beer for $7.50. I also enjoyed their tuna tacos for $17 with fries for an additional $2 or $19 total. The tuna was properly cooked and tasty. The fries were ok. My total bill was $76 less gratuities. Lauren P. served our table well. The place is now closed during the winter season. I will return here again next season during the warmer weather for lunch. read more

The food and service are just awful. I order a hamburger, pretty simple item to make, worst tasting burger I have ever had. We were there at lunchtime so the place was pretty empty and our server just disappeared, they got my son's meal wrong and they said they would turn it around quickly. Half way through our meals I had chase down someone to remind them about my son's meal and still did come out until the rest of us were done. Chicken fingers and chips can't be that hard to turn around. Only thing this place has going is location. Just skip. read more

What a view. Sunset and all!!! A very big place for plenty of people. The crushes are delicious. Grapefruit is my favorite. The scallops with crab risotto is my favorite and I get it every time I go. The other menu items are terrific. It is definitely a children friendly place. Will I come back??? Absolutely. Great place off season too. read more
